How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Previous interviews, practiced a few questions, researched/fell in love with Madison, paid attention during the presentations

What impressed you positively?

Just about everything. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. They spelled out exactly what the admissions process is.

What impressed you negatively?

I really really wish we could have seen the hospitals, but we couldn't because of H1N1. Driving in Madison is a little crazy with all the undergrad pedestrians.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview counts about as much as a LOR. Not a huge deal, I guess--could be good or bad.

What are your general comments?

I think he didn't have my MCAT/GPA but I don't remember. Did have activities and essays. Said we should hear 4-6 weeks after interviewing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
